Standoff in Byron Ends Peacefully

Byron, MN (KROC AM News) -There was some excitement in a Byron neighborhood early Sunday.

Olmsted County deputies were called to a residence in the 1,000 block of 8th Ave NW around 4:00 AM to check on a domestic situation. A woman at the home called 911 to report her boyfriend had just threatened her with a knife. She told deputies she had locked herself in her bedroom but the man kicked open the door and confronted her. She was able to get away and run to a neighbor’s house where she called for help.

Because the man locked himself in the home and made threats with a knife, it was decided to bring in the Emergency Response Unit. Officers tried to get the man to come out but he refused.They finally went in after him around 8:30 A.M. and he was taken into custody.
